Title:
  [upstream] OpenOffice quickstarted shouldn't have a notification icon

Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite:
  Unknown
Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: openoffice.org

  As the name suggests, the notification area should be used for
  notification, not as a permanent bloated icon panel. ( see
  http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/desktop-notification-
  area.html )

  If you use OpenOffice often enough, you want it to load fast so you
  might want to use the OpenOffice quickstart option. But why oh why
  this implies that you also want an icon in your notification area ?
  There is no intuitive link between the concept of quickstart and
  notification area and this is a flagrant violation of the Gnome HIG.

  Having an icon in the notification area should be another option and
  not be related to the quickstart.
